I'm a big fan of Guerlain. I think they're pretty underrated as far as department store beauty goes, and when I stumbled upon their new range of lipsticks, I of course, got sucked in like a moth to a flame.

The La Petite Robe Noire lipsticks £21.50 are the new lippie range to accompany the similarly titled fragrance. The idea is a lightly fragranced, balmy lipstick that builds from a translucent juicyness to an intense colour pay off. Scented makeup doesn't really do it for me but these aren't at all unpleasant. The finish and formula is what I love most about these, they're shiny, hydrating, dewy and really make your lips look plump and refreshed. I was never really into the Kylie/brown/matte thing but especially as summer is around the corner, these offerings from Guerlain sound like perfection. There are 20 colours in the range and I swatched every last damn one for you, let's have a look:

1. Black Perfecto - Thoughts when I first saw this: "Black lipstick? Guerlain?" It's not black at all as you can see. It's a sheer, vampy purple with subtle glitter, interesting but it stains. Not a favourite!

2. My First Lipstick - Another glittery number, although it's pale-pink-sheer bordering nothingy-ness so again not a fave.

16. Neon Pumps - A light and bright pink that is far from neon but in fact really pretty and springlike.

17. Cherry Cape

18. Leather Blazer - I did think yuck, in the bullet, and even in the swatch but on the lips it's really flattering for those with an olive-y undertone.

19. Mauve Gloves - As dark and plummy as this looks compared to the other, more vibrant shades, it actually translates a lot lighter on me and is definitely in my top 3 favourite/most wearable shades of the range.

20. Plumbrella

They alsoooo have 8 nail polishes (of which I like all of them) that match some of the lip colours (why they didn't just match all 20 shades I have no idea) and once again, a killer formula. I quickly tried 4 on my nails and 1 slight swipe was opaque, bright and shiny. Pink Ballerinas, a milky pale pink, is actually stunning, it looks so demure and ethereal, if a polish can.

The packaging on these is gorgeous!! I normally stick to my matte lipsticks and don't go near anything remotely sheer but I love the pink shades you've swatched. Definitely go for Sun Twin Set and Pink Bangle! x

I absolutely love the La Petite Robe Noire perfume so these lipsticks are super exciting :-) I like how shimmery they seem to be from your swatches, thanks for sharing! xoxohttp://gingersnaphattie.blogspot.co.uk
